  • Canada is getting BYD folks, you love to see it

    Jump

  • Once Canadians get that first hit of BYD goodness they will clamour for more. Only issue I can see is with so few being imported the dealers will do big markups and negate the value prop of Chinese EVs.

  • American politician suggests $3 a meal plan for the poor to eat.

    Jump

  • I wonder what their plan is once there's no more need for proletarians and we all starve to death. Do the handful of billionaires just hang out in New Zealand surrounded by robobutlers?

  • Depends more in this case on Iranian intelligence and their willingness to actually use them. Depending on the HQ-9 variant and the FCS/Radars paired with them, they can have the capability to detect and lock stealth aircraft, albeit at a shorter distance and therefore smaller response window than conventional. This means ideally your military intelligence needs to know their potential strike routes and can preposition your systems to intercept. Also, American EW planes have shown to work on older Soviet SAM systems, we'll see how hardened the more modern Chinese systems are against it. Finally, its a numbers game, did Iran purchase sufficient numbers of systems to tolerate attrition and ensure redundancy if SEAD takes out a few? How much coverage can they provide for important sites and air corridors? And who's to say if they won't just strike a deal with the US like before where they do some face saving strikes back and forth with no real damage and leave the SAMs out of the equation.

  • No one wants to be the first to stick their neck out and so the policy of appeasement continues. I wonder what the line will be, if there even is one.

  • They have a bunch of MANPADS, a handful of kubs/buks, and a single functioning battalion of S-300s (aka like 8 available missiles, not nearly enough). The MANPADS are worthless against high altitudes so can only be used against helicopters, the kubs/buks are too old to be relevant against modern ECM and stealth, and the S-300s are too few to provide meaningful defense as they can be easily targeted and don't have enough capacity to saturate air targets. Modern air defense is something only countries with money to burn can meaningfully do, either via their own stealth fighters or with so many advanced SAMs that it's impossible to do SEAD effectively.

  • I wonder then if this was just a big PR stunt; things will clear up with time but it seems like loyalists remain in control so far and there's no indications of a conventional ground operation. They might be good at the whole shock and awe openers but time and time again have proven to be bogged down by protracted guerrilla war. Though it's good there hasn't been one yet, America might get bled but Venezuelan civilians will be the ones who suffer.

  • I didn't realize my LG TV was spying on me until I turned off this setting

    Jump

  • I get the feeling they have started to double/triple dip at this point, full price + sell your data + advertise.

    Luckily TCL and Hisense have made the price of panels so cheap that unless you want some fancy OLED that a 300 dollar TV is more than enough for the vast majority of people.

  • Had an issue stopping my Cybertruck...

    Jump

  • What if this guy being a cybertruck driver and all mistook 26% slope grade as 26 degrees? Would be even funnier because 26 degrees is a genuinely steep slope but 26% is like 14 degrees which is quite manageable.

  • Yes the rear one is a grenade launcher with programmable fuses intended to shoot over cover and airburst over the people behind it.

    Every country that had a program like this ended up cancelling it though because shit was heavy and expensive and not very good vs separate grenade launchers and rifles.

  • Yeah it could just be an incorrect description of how the program actually works. Or they're just making shit up to obfuscate how they actually did it.

    Jump

  • I've heard of a few places in the news that have had secret DPRK employees, and the whole spy angle doesn't really make sense when you realize they basically never do any actual spying, they just do the work that's required of them and send the money back through various remittance services usually through China or SEA countries.

    The tipoff for a lot of these places is either a lot of weird changes to their direct deposit info in a short period of time (indicating laundering through different banks/remittance services), or having odd behaviour during video calls/interviews; sometimes they'll hire someone in the usa to be their face, and one case I've read about apparently used an AI generated voice and filter.

  • Easiest way I can come up with would be to have the keylogger send timestamps with the keystrokes, which would be compared with the time at the server that receives them.

  • Hopefully the Guard get some attention because artillery heavy factions are my favourite in TWWH and historical ones, and to me its more fun to root for completely regular humans doing their best against incomprehensible horrors while under constant threat of death from their own leadership. Pretty grim, dark even.

  • Yeah a closer comparison would be the J-10B or C which was designed to compete with and subsequently surpass the F-16. I don't think China is willing to sell those to such an unreliable government in Argentina ATM though.
